Historic House with Gardens Near Universities & Downtown

McDowell House offers the unusual opportunity to stay in an exquisitely restored historic residence in one of Lexington's most beautiful neighborhoods. Surrounded by other 19th-century properties, the house sits just blocks from Washington & Lee, VMI, and downtown's restaurants and shops. A deep front lawn and tranquil gardens provide quiet and privacy.

McDowell House sleeps 6 guests--or up to 10, when combined with the property's 3rd floor apartment, McDowell Studio (VRBO #339861). Combined bookings receive a special rate.

All beds have high-quality mattresses, silky all-cotton linens, and hypoallergenic duvets. McDowell House's charming 1st-floor Garden Bedroom features a tall-post double bed and a window overlooking the secluded rear garden. An adjoining tiled bathroom retains its original marble sink and claw-footed tub, but with shower mounted above.

On the 2nd floor, the West Bedroom has a queen-sized brass bed and tall windows on 3 sides. The Turret Bedroom features an elegant pair of antique brass twin beds and its own little circular porch overlooking the front lawn and mountains beyond. Two well-appointed bathrooms serve these bedrooms: a marble-floored bathroom next door with tiled shower and claw-footed tub and the house's original bathroom, on the same floor, which contains a tiled shower.

Guests may use a rowing machine located on the 2nd-floor porch and a vibration platform located in the 2nd-floor conservatory.

McDowell House has an amazing eat-in kitchen with original wainscot, Virginia soapstone counters, and state-of-the art appliances--from restaurant-grade gas stove to espresso maker. With windows overlooking both rear and side gardens, it's the perfect place to enjoy cooking--or eating--local vegetables, meats, breads, and cheeses. Glassware, china, flatware, and serving pieces make dining or enjoying take-out easy and fun.

McDowell House is a magical place to spend time with friends and family. A large, airy parlor with tall windows opens into the generous dining room, via sliding doors. The sunny library provides comfortable space for reading, working, watching television, or catching up on the day's activities.

Rooms feature luminous colors and period carpets, wallpapers, and curtains. Art covers the walls, as it did in the 1890s. Musical guests love playing the c.1890 ebonized Knabe piano in the handsome 1st-floor hall.

Visitors also enjoy lounging on the porches that wrap the house.
In the back garden's rock-lined pool, waterlilies bloom all summer. A round table and chairs sit on a stone terrace, surrounded by lush Japanese maples and evergreens, ferns, and native woodland plants. McDowell House provides a quiet refuge--and a perfect base for visiting Washington & Lee and VMI, exploring scenic Rockbridge County, and enjoying Lexington's vibrant downtown.

Lovely historic home

Location could not be better. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Home was spacious. Peonies were in bloom, and gorgeous. Our son had to work the majority of our stay, in between his brother's graduation activities at VMI. He had a very comfortable, private space to work from. The rest of us were able to visit, and didn't feel we were disturbing him. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect house! Perfect Location!

We were in Lexington for a family wedding and wanted a place where we could comfortably visit between events. This house is so charming! It’s like walking through a museum! We loved the art, the books, the awesome kitchen and reading about the house history. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents!

Disappointed!!!

there were several issues which negatively impacted our stay. front walk in poor condition. tripping concerns. porch light never worked, broken lamp shade in lr, burned out chandelier bulb and broken outside door lock in dr, flickering bulb in kitch will probably burn out, inconsistent heat-2 of 3 bedrooms no heat at all 1st night, radiators always luke warm at best, found men's clothes in mast br wardrobe!!, also, one bulb was out in over head light. "gym" unusable-too small contained excercise bike, medicine ball, wash basket w clothes in that half covered up major hole in floor, electric cords all over floor, large flower pot w dirt-no plant in corner, broken, cracked missing tiles-no swimming pool vrbo had adv, sauna out of order, paint cans, junk on side porch, 4 full trash cans back of prop-we didn't even know were there til we tried to put our1 bag trash on departure date. the landscaping/garden was a an overgrown mess. the bedding was good, high ceilings nice, staircase lovely, furnishings just ok. this property is not well maintained. when you open your home to the public and charge them to stay, it is not unreasonable to expect everything to work-hotel standards to be met. someone needs to look into this immediatley. frankly, i believe we are owed at least a partial refund as this property far from met expectations VRBO listing created. we may return to lexington but, never again to this property.

Beautiful historic Lexington house

The location allows you to experience the town of Lexington from right in the middle of it, and the house captures the historic feeling of the area beautifully. Filled with art, books, and history, it is a great place to stay when visiting Lex.

Fantastic stay. The home is a historical experience. We loved sitting on the porch. The big dining table was nice for us all. The host thought of everything you’d need. Would come back again.

Comfortable home. Enjoyed the location as it is so close to Main St and other downtown shops. Bring your own toiletries as none are available in the home.

Great location, interesting house, but the MICE!

The host gave us check in directions to the wrong house, but we found the place. It's large, decorated in period style, but mice feces are on kitchen surfaces and in the drawer with pots and pans. This continued throughout our 2-wk stay. By the third day we couldn't get the oven to work. Host was unhelpful & unapologetic when we contacted him about the problems. Also has spotty Internet and not all lights work.

Beautiful Historic Home - Easy Walk to Downtown Lexington

We enjoyed this beautifully restored historic home for a ladies’ weekend getaway to Lexington, VA. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked and the beds very comfortable. Walking to shopping and dining in downtown Lexington was easy - we didn’t need our car all weekend! Our favorite feature of the house was the wide front porch, where we enjoyed lounging with coffee each morning and gathering for a glass of wine each afternoon. We loved our stay and hope to return!

Incredible historic gem

My fiancé and friends stayed at this stunning and historic home for a Lexington area wedding. The downtown location was ideal to walk to several events and parking was easy. This home has incredible character and each room is interesting to explore. It was plenty of space for 6 adults. We were a little startled initially when we learned the homeowner was staying on the third floor, but Peter ultimately clarified things and equipped the house very comfortably. We also had some issues with locking the door, but this was also resolved. An excellent choice for a memorable visit to Lexington.

Graduation Trip

The house was spacious (two "living" rooms). The front porch was delightful for relaxing. The lighting was too dim (at front door, in the bedrooms) for old people. The air was musty. The dining room table was expandable, with quite adequate seating. for a large family brunch. We enjoyed our stay.
